Boys Like Girls - The Great Escape Lyrics

Paper bags and plastic hearts
All our belongings in shopping carts
It's goodbye
But we got one more night 
Lets get drunk and ride around 
And make peace with an empty town
We can make it right

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn 
Let it die
'Cause we are finally free
Tonight

Tonight will change our lives
It's so good to be by your side 
But we'll cry
We won't give up the fight 
We'll scream loud at the top of our lungs 
And they'll think its just 'cause we're young 
And we'll feel so alive

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway 
Watch it burn 
Let it die 
Cause we are finally free
Tonight

All of the wasted time 
The hours that were left behind 
The answers that we'll never find 
They don't mean a thing 
Tonight 

Throw it away 
Forget yesterday 
We'll make the great escape 
We won't hear a word they say 
They dont know us any way 

Throw it away 
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say 
They don't know us any way 

Throw it away 
Forget yesterday 
We'll make the great escape 
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us any way 
Watch it burn 
Let it die 
Cause we are finally free
Tonight
